As the province continues to slowly reopen and resume some summer activities, many are wondering if public swimming pools are part of that equation.
Premier François Legault said Thursday opening public pools this summer is still on the table. “Our intention eventually is to open up pools,” he said. “But we’re not there yet.” In Pointe-Claire, there are seven public swimming pools.
Mayor John Belvedere says the city is looking at different ways it can reopen them. “We’re waiting for the recommendations from the government,” he said. “The government said they’re going to put out a guide on how they can be opened — when they do come out with that guide, then we’ll decide if we can actually do it — if we feel safe with it.” Belvedere says
